In 13 Ghosts, players try to guess the ghost hidden in opponents' crypts to eliminate them. Each player uses numbered ghost cards with special abilities either to attack or to activate powers. Through bluffing and deduction, players aim to identify and remove opponent ghosts. The last player remaining wins the game.
Who Is This Game For?
This game targets families and casual gamers aged 8 and up. With a short playtime of about 20 minutes, it suits quick sessions. The simple mechanics combining bluffing and deduction make it accessible to players without prior experience.
How It Works
Players hold ghost cards numbered 1 to 13, each with a special ability. Cards can be played face-up to use abilities or face-down to guess an opponent’s ghost number. Correct guesses eliminate players (Player Elimination). The game continues until only one player remains.
What Makes It Special
Designed by Victor Amanatidis, 13 Ghosts blends deduction with bluffing in a fast microgame format. Part of the Creatures: Ghosts family, it features Player Elimination for direct player confrontation. While it has no awards, its simple yet tactical gameplay stands out.
